Acknowledging the Land
One Spirit Learning Alliance is based in Lenapehoking, the ancestral home of the Lenape People, and our staff, students, and graduates live and work on the lands of many indigenous tribes and nations throughout the world. Due to the ravages of colonialism, genocide, and forced relocation, the Lenape People are currently dispersed throughout the United States and Canada. Today, the United States recognizes 574 indigenous tribes and nations within its borders, all survivors of colonial oppression and displacement, all enduringly connected to their ancestral lands.
Our Approach
Our approach explores integral, interspiritual, and developmental perspectives to inspire our community to live engaged lives of authenticity, integrity, celebration, and compassionate service.
In maintaining our integrity, we keep a strong code of ethics.
Antiracism, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion
One Spirit Learning Alliance is compelled by its mission, vision and values to disrupt and dismantle all that intentionally kills another being, physically or spiritually.
Therefore, we are strongly committed to ending racism. And we make serious efforts to promote diversity, equity, and inclusion in all our work and relationships.

Our Founder
Rev. Diane Berke
“In 2001, in the aftermath of September 11th, I felt an urgency to take the work I had been doing to a deeper level: to support the emergence of…interspirituality or the interspiritual age… In August 2002, One Spirit Interfaith Seminary was born.”
“If we are to survive and grow in our world, we must transform ourselves through love and acceptance for all teachings, all people, and all cultures, everywhere. One Spirit is a leader in this work ”
— Rev. Cory C.
